Elder Matt Knoop...

I will truly miss Matt, he was one of my dear friends. I saw him grow up and also saw him strive to always be worthy of being able to serve a mission. He is one of the most amazing guys I know, and has blessed the life's of many. My heart goes out to his family and also to his best friend Brady Ewell, who is serving a mission in Mexico. I got to talk to Brady and hear him say that he is going to be serving his mission for Matt. I know there wont be a day that goes by that Brady and all of us wont think of Matt and the impact he had on our life's, but it's comforting to know that Matt is watching over us. Our Heavenly Father has a plan for us and even though we don't know it, we need to live our life's to the fullest.

I love you Matt.

Flip This House..

That's one of our favorite shows, and since April 1st we have been flipping our new home. Zak's parents own the home and rent it out, which means we're the new renters!! We have totally saved this house, it was in really bad shape and never taken care of. The house was built in 1932, making it 76 years old and also on Murray City Historic list. It is such a cute home!! We have gutted the whole place and are starting all over, new kitchen , new bathroom, new carpet, refinishing the hardwood, and of course my favorite...Paint. It will look amazing when it's all done. We are hoping for May to be finished. So when it's done you all need to come and see the transformation. Well here are some pictures of our work.

Here are some pics of us at Zak's brothers wedding. The two boys are our nephews Mckay and Kye!

Good Times!

February has been a good month. We celebrated Valentine's Day at Olive Garden and of course we went up to the famous bridge of ours. Yes we took Root beer again and had another belching contest, I lost again. It was a cold night so we stayed on the bridge for only a min or so then ran back to the car. The view of the city was blocked by a huge hill of snow. We drove back home and ended the night with some Guitar Hero and Wii!!! It was a fun night!! The picture is of John Allred, he is so good. Our wedding song, When You Fall, is sung by him. We went to his concert, and in the middle of it he turned off all the lights and came in the middle of the crowd. He had a small light and had us all sing along with him. It was so cool. Zak, Madi (his sister) and I all got pictures with him too, way nice guy. On the 29th Zak's brother, Aaron is getting married, it will be a fun day. Life is so amazing!!

New Room...

We got a new bed set, which meant that we needed to get rid of the pink and black walls. So we picked out the new color and started the transformation. We had to put 2 coats of primer on, then Zak painted the whole room. So nice of him! It's looks so different and feels so cozy. We love it!!

The Big 24!

So it was my birthday and I turned the big 24. To me that really sounds old. We had a fun day, Zak took my to the Sky Box for lunch. I got Salmon and Zak hates the taste, smell, pretty much everything about salmon, so as I was enjoying my meal he could hardly stand sitting at the table!! Zak got a pizza that was gross, so we sent it back and he just got some fries. Then the waiter brought out some ice cream for me!! Zak had a lighter and candles that he brought, and then whistled the birthday song. I love it. After lunch we went to the arcade side of Sky Box and played around like little kids. Again I loved it. That night Erin also came over to see me and wish me a Happy Birthday. She is amazing. One thing I loved was getting texts and phone calls all day long from so many loved ones. It was a great day for me, and I feel so blessed to have a husband that made it even more special for me!!!
